I agree - though we'd have to use a different primitive name so as not to clash with supporting older images on the plain interpreter.

I think I'd be inclined to add it to the bitbltplugin on the basis that it is a sibling to the primitiveDisplayString code. That might even make it sensible to go back to the Old Ways and have a boolean flag to the prim for display/no-display and call the blt directly.
